Introduction to the asset package

An asset package is a file geodatabase that models the schema, properties, related layers, related tables, and data of a utility network. Components of a utility network that are modeled with an asset package include domain networks, asset groups and asset types,
attributes and domains, terminals, categories, network attributes, association rules, edge connectivity policies, tiers and subnetworks, rules, attribute rules, and diagram templates. Each asset package models one utility network, including the structure network, and one or more domain networks. An asset package is additive. Changing a value in the asset package and applying it again will not change that property in a utility network.

Asset package schema

The required components of an asset package are a dataset with the structure and domain network feature classes and a number of tables corresponding to components of a utility network.

The following table describes the dataset and tables of an asset package:
